Letter from the President

May 26, 2009

Dear Parents, Alumni and Prospective Students and Families;

The Easter season will soon come to an end.  As we celebrate Ascension Thursday and Pentecost Sunday.   This spring has been very busy.  Here is a sampling of what Loughlin students have been involved with:

• Two debate teams qualified and attended the New York State Championship.
• Several students participating in programs sponsored by All Stars; one performed in “Season in the Congo”.
• A trip to Broadway to see Billy Elliott sponsored by a board member.
• A trip to visit the corporate offices of AVON including lunch with the CEO.
• 22 students performing at NYSSMA and receiving recognition as outstanding or excellent.
• A web conference with students from St. Francis of Assisi school in Liverpool, England sharing ideas on global warming.
• The final Kairos retreat
• LaSalle week activities in honor of our founder, St. John Baptist De LaSalle.
• More service projects that I can list.

Wow, if the spirit is about new life, then Loughlin has been brimming over.  The school community has been engaged with creative learning opportunities both inside an outside the building.

The senior class excitedly looks forward to graduation and the full range of social and spiritual activities surrounding it.  College acceptances have been strong.  I am proud to say.  Graduating seniors will be attending Columbia, Brown and West Point, St. John’s, St. Francis, Drexel, Howard, and a host of others.

We’ve been blessed.

Live Jesus in our hearts!
